Depth completion is an important vision task, and many efforts have been made to enhance the quality of depth maps from sparse depth measurements. Despite significant advances, training these models to recover dense depth from sparse…

Classical model reduction techniques project the governing equations onto a linear subspace of the original state space. More recent data-driven techniques use neural networks to enable nonlinear projections. Whilst those often enable…

Recently, sparse training methods have started to be established as a de facto approach for training and inference efficiency in artificial neural networks. Yet, this efficiency is just in theory. In practice, everyone uses a binary mask to…

Selective layer-wise updates are essential for low-cost continued pre-training of Large Language Models (LLMs), yet determining which layers to freeze or train remains an empirical black-box problem due to the lack of interpretable…

Federated learning (FL) scenarios inherently generate a large communication overhead by frequently transmitting neural network updates between clients and server. To minimize the communication cost, introducing sparsity in conjunction with…

Edge computing allows artificial intelligence and machine learning models to be deployed on edge devices, where they can learn from local data and collaborate to form a global model. Federated learning (FL) is a distributed machine learning…

Neural network models are widely used in solving many challenging problems, such as computer vision, personalized recommendation, and natural language processing. Those models are very computationally intensive and reach the hardware limit…

Top-k sparsification has recently been widely used to reduce the communication volume in distributed deep learning. However, due to the Sparse Gradient Accumulation (SGA) dilemma, the performance of top-k sparsification still has…

As a promising paradigm federated Learning (FL) is widely used in privacy-preserving machine learning, which allows distributed devices to collaboratively train a model while avoiding data transmission among clients. Despite its immense…

The use of sparse neural networks has seen rapid growth in recent years, particularly in computer vision. Their appeal stems largely from the reduced number of parameters required to train and store, as well as in an increase in learning…

Federated learning is a privacy-preserving approach to train a global model at a central server by collaborating with wireless devices, each with its own local training data set. In this paper, we present a compressive sensing approach for…

Deep neural networks have significantly alleviated the burden of feature engineering, but comparable efforts are now required to determine effective architectures for these networks. Furthermore, as network sizes have become excessively…

Federated learning increasingly operates in a large-model regime where communication, memory, and computation are all scarce. Typically, non-IID client data induce drift that degrades the stability and performance of local training.…

In recent years, Dynamic Sparse Training (DST) has emerged as an alternative to post-training pruning for generating efficient models. In principle, DST allows for a more memory efficient training process, as it maintains sparsity…

Recent work in Deep Learning has re-imagined the representation of data as functions mapping from a coordinate space to an underlying continuous signal. When such functions are approximated by neural networks this introduces a compelling…

Sparse tensors appear frequently in distributed deep learning, either as a direct artifact of the deep neural network's gradients, or as a result of an explicit sparsification process. Existing communication primitives are agnostic to the…

The performance and efficiency of distributed training of Deep Neural Networks highly depend on the performance of gradient averaging among all participating nodes, which is bounded by the communication between nodes. There are two major…

Continual learning enables large language models to adapt to evolving tasks without retraining from scratch, yet catastrophic forgetting remains a central obstacle. Among continual learning methods, regularization-based approaches are…

Sparse regularization techniques are well-established in machine learning, yet their application in neural networks remains challenging due to the non-differentiability of penalties like the $L_1$ norm, which is incompatible with stochastic…

Gradient sparsification is a widely adopted solution for reducing the excessive communication traffic in distributed deep learning. However, most existing gradient sparsifiers have relatively poor scalability because of considerable…
